MLB will have you believe that this was a dramatic night in the last week of its season. And on the surface, it does look like that.

Fernando Tatis is Defecating on Baseball’s ‘Unwritten Rules’ and it’s Spectacular

The Lakers Are Still Jump-Kicking Themselves In The Face

Oh Man, The Lakers Are In Big, Big Trouble
Yep, the Lakers really are going with this whole "play terrible basketball on purpose" thing. Last night against the Rockets, they attempted 10 three-pointers as a team—two more than Houston's Trevor Ariza fired up by himself—and sent the Rockets to the free-throw line 50 times. They did both of t...
The Cavs Are The First Team In Over 25 Years To Have Four No. 1 Picks

Kobe Wants More Of A Say In Who Will Be The Lakers' Sideline Prop
The Lakers are reportedly set to hire former Cavs coach Mike Brown to succeed Phil Jackson. Actual coach/GM Kobe Bryant is said to be "surprised" by the news because he expected to see L.A. assistant Brian Shaw promoted to the position and was "not a part of the decision-making process." [SI]...
The Lakers Had A Group Meltdown In Honor Of Phil Jackson's Final Game
Let's avoid speculating about why the Lakers are avoiding Kobe Bryant on the court, and why Pau Gasol broke it off with his girlfriend, and how those two things may or may not be related and may or may not have lead to this 4-0 sweep, and just point out that Los Angeles played like a team — despit...
At Least The Lakers Are The Best At Twitter
The mad geniuses at Hoopism have a new project in which they've ranked "Klout" for NBA social media: the Lakers are "the most influential" NBA team on Twitter, the Pistons are not very influential at all, and Randy Foye really needs to make his Twitter public. [Hoopism]...
